· Specific provisions with respect to certain matters, such as persons, matrimonial regimes, obligations, and contracts
· Arbitration, which focuses on arbitration agreements, proceedings, the arbitral award, rights of recourse, international arbitration, and recognition, enforcement, and recourses.
